MotoGP: Ben Spies SPEED Award Nomination

2010 SPEED Performance Award

The 2010 MotoGP season saw one of the most impressive rookie performances in series history when Parts Europe-supported Ben Spies lined up aboard his privateer Yamaha.

The Texan had already earned numerous championships worldwide and proved his MotoGP talent was a force to be reckoned with.

Spies had earned multiple podium finishes, the pole position in Indianapolis and MotoGP rookie of the year honors as he finished the series sixth overall.

Spies will now make the move to the Factory Yamaha squad for 2011, replacing Valentino Rossi, and will no doubt be a title contender.
